The 500g bag of Germain’s Royal Jersey Original Latakia pipe tobacco is a blend of the finest Latakia, Oriental, golden Cavendish and Virginia tobacco’s with no added flavours. The premium Virginia tobacco’s are carefully blended with a selection of oriental tobacco’s from Greece and Turkey, and a Cyprian Latakia to create a smooth mellow smoke with a rich flavour. This is a very complex blend with the rich smoky notes of the Latakia to the fore. The Virginias provide a light, tart sweetness which elevates the spicy,  smoky flavours of the Latakia and oriental tobacco’s.  Smooth with a rich full flavour this is another superb blend from Germain’s.  The blend is mild to medium in terms of its strength and nicotine content with a pleasant room note. This mixture burns cool and smooth with absolutely no bite

J F Germain’s & Sons are one of the last true British pipe tobacco blenders. Based in Jersey they have been producing the finest quality pipe tobaccos since 1820. Germain’s pipe tobacco is notoriously difficult to obtain as demand exceeds supply so buy it when available.

Presented in a 500g sealed bag Germain’s Royal Jersey Original Latakia pipe tobacco is ribbon cut and can be loaded straight into the bowl. To fully appreciate the flavour and taste we recommend that the mixture is smoked at a slow pace to

• prevent the tobacco burning hot which will impair the taste and aroma,
• cause the pipe to overheat potentially causing the dreaded tongue bite.

Germain’s Royal Jersey Original Latakia pipe tobacco is also available to buy in a 50g tin.
